Glassdoor Announces Highest Rated CEOs in Canada for 2016

Technology, Finance and Professional Services Chief Executives Lead the Way in the Employees' Choice Awards

MILL VALLEY, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 8, 2016) - Glassdoor, the world's most transparent jobs and recruiting marketplace, has announced the winners of its annual Employees' Choice Awards honoring the Highest Rated CEOs in 2016 across North America and parts of Europe. Unlike any other workplace awards, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards are based solely on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback by completing a company review on whether they approve or disapprove of their CEO, along with insight into their job, work environment and employer over the past year.

This is the second year the company has honored Highest Rated CEOs in Canada. In addition, Glassdoor has expanded its Employees' Choice Awards to Europe, honoring the Highest Rated CEOs across six countries in all: the U.S., Canada, UK,France, Germany and the Netherlands. Winners are ranked based on their overall CEO approval rating from employees during the past year. For reporting simplicity, approval ratings are rounded to the nearest whole number though actual calculations extend beyond the thousandth to determine rank.

"The Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards honor CEOs that stand out for having gained the support and approval of their workforce -- no easy task for any leader," said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor CEO and co-founder. "I am proud to expand these awards to new markets as incredible leaders are found around the world and are not limited by boundaries or borders. I congratulate all of the winners on this significant achievement."

Employees' Choice Award winners for the 2016 Highest Rated CEOs are determined using Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm, taking into account the quantity and consistency of Glassdoor-approved company reviews shared by Canada-based employees between May 2, 2015 and May 1, 2016. To be considered, employers must have received at least 25 company reviews, including at least 25 CEO approval ratings and at least 25 senior management ratings during the eligibility period. Complete methodology can be found and downloaded here: https://www.glassdoor.com/Awards-and-Trends/about-employees-choice-awards.htm

When an employee submits a company review on Glassdoor, he or she is asked to share their opinion on some of the best reasons to work for their employer (pros), any downsides (cons), and are encouraged to provide advice to management. Employees are also asked to rate several factors tied to their employment experience, including sentiment around their CEO's leadership, in addition to rating their overall satisfaction with their employer, and workplace attributes like senior management among others. Specifically, when rating their CEO on Glassdoor, employees are able to choose from one of three options: approve, disapprove or no opinion of the CEO.
